[Healeys] Broken Coil - classic car spring maker?

I have a question for the list regarding the Austin Healey of the Cretaceous
period - aka my Austin A90 Atlantic Saloon.

One of my front springs broke - the suspension is an identical copy of the
healey suspension except the spring heights are different.  I tried putting
on some new heavy duty racing springs for a Healey 100, but the ride height
is about 2" too low because the healey is very low slung compared to the A90
(and lighter), so Healey springs are no good, and so far off I can't even
put spacers on them to bring up the ride height.

No one makes or has springs for the A90....

Do any of you know of any custom spring makers that can make a pair of new
springs for me to original spec for the A90 without breaking the bank?  I
assume a springmaker in the UK or OZ should have the specs on file and can
make them new from scratch.

Thanks,

Alan
